Now that your majesty stopped shouting and killed, seeing that An Huajin returned to Nanyang safely, he adopted a roundabout strategy.
Go to King Nanyang and set up a Hongmen Banquet to invite you to the urn.
Once King Nanyang enters the capital, will he be greeted by His Majesty's anger? Or by a murderous sword?
Obviously, this is not a good thing.
Shen Yuanzhi slammed the table angrily, "Where is the father-in-law who delivered the order? He has entered the city?"
"We haven't entered the city yet, but are already on the way here. Huai'an has already received the news." An Huajin was very calm, "We will arrive in about two days. I haven't told grandpa about this yet. I want to discuss a charter with you first. , let’s see what we can do. If I tell Grandpa, I’m afraid because of Grandpa’s temper. Your Majesty is the king after all, and you have a call. How could Grandpa not come to Beijing? Wouldn’t not going to Beijing give His Majesty more reason to say that the Nanyang Palace is disloyal? Grandpa ten There are eight or nine who are going to be called to Beijing."
Shen Yuanzhi frowned, "Then you can discuss a solution? Or else send someone to kill the father-in-law who passed the order?"
An Huajin said nothing.
Cui Zhuo said warmly, "If you kill one, Your Majesty will send a second one, and there is no shortage of father-in-laws in the capital. This is not the best idea."
"Then let's fight with Your Majesty, come and kill one."
Gu Qingyan smiled, "Doesn't that clearly tell the court that the Nanyang Palace is going to rebel? It would be fine if the Nanyang Palace rebels. However, the Nanyang Palace does not want to rebel. In this case, we must think of the most appropriate way to deal with it."
Shen Yuanzhi had a bald head, "Is there any other good idea? Otherwise, invite the father-in-law who delivered the message to the city, provide him with delicious food and drink, and at the same time let Grandpa An pretend to be sick? This will delay it."< /p>
"Your Majesty is the king. Since you are determined to hold accountable, there are always many reasons. Delay is a way, but it is not the final solution." Gu Qingyan shook his head, "With your Majesty's temper, you will not come up with such twists and turns when you are angry. The person who can come up with this method must be my sixth cousin Wang Anzhi. Since he is the one who takes action, if we delay it, he must have other options."
Anping said, "In short, we can't let the old prince enter Beijing. It's only a matter of time to delay it for a while!"
Cui Zhuo nodded, "You can't kill the father-in-law who is delivering the order. We can only delay it by inviting him in when he arrives. After all, the capital is far away from Nanyang Road, so delaying for a while is nothing. During this period, we can always think of ways. ”
Gu Qingyan said warmly, "Actually, I recommend Grandpa An to go to Beijing."
The three of them looked at him.
Gu Qingyan said, "Your Majesty must think that the old prince does not dare to enter the capital, but what if the old prince does come to the capital?"
An Huajin is thoughtful.
"The old prince served as a soldier all his life, guarding Nanyang City and guarding the border of Da Chu. In this life, he defeated the enemy several times, and his descendants buried their bones on the battlefield. He made great military exploits for Chu. The common people respected and admired the old prince very much, even in front of His Majesty. , the old prince is also your majesty’s father-in-law Taishan. As an old prince, he is not required to kneel before your majesty. He is qualified to stand in front of your majesty, point his nose at your majesty and scold him for what he has done is stupid. No one else dares to say that. The old prince can confidently say and do things that he dare not do. Since his majesty has called him, if the old prince can simply answer the call, go to the capital and question him in front of his majesty about his scheme against the little princess. What? What should His Majesty do? No matter how angry he is, can he throw the old prince into a prison? No! In the final analysis, the cause of this matter is only because of Your Majesty. We all know it, but Your Majesty insists on being vague and ignoring what he did. To hold the young princess responsible for killing Hua Siyu, the old prince can just argue with your majesty. Doesn’t your majesty want to argue? Then argue well, lest people in the world unjustly accuse the young princess of disrespecting the lord."
Cui Zhuo nodded, "That's what Brother Gu said. It's just that it will inevitably trouble Grandpa An. Grandpa An is old and not in good health, so he is afraid that he won't be able to bear the pain of traveling around and have to go to Beijing. My body cannot bear to deal with His Majesty and the courtiers. I think Sister An also has this concern, so she doesn’t want Grandpa An to enter the capital."
Gu Qingyan nodded, "Because of this, I happen to be going back to Beijing, so let's go back to Beijing with Grandpa An. As long as I'm here, I won't let Grandpa An suffer."
Shen Yuanzhi believed in Gu Qingyan very much, "What you said is the best way. After all, even if you changed your official position and came to Nanyang, His Majesty has not done anything to the Gu family so far."
Anping said, "I heard that Mr. Gu fell ill."
Gu Qingyan smiled, "I was nowhere to be seen, so your majesty will naturally look for grandpa. It's not easy for grandpa to argue in front of your majesty. No matter what the little princess is like, it was me who took action against the Imperial Guards. So, grandpa probably In order to deal with His Majesty, I made myself sick."
"Mr. Gu is pretending to be sick." Shen Yuanzhi blinked.
Gu Qingyan shook his head, "Of course it's a real illness. It's easy to make yourself sick, but if you pretend to be sick, it's not easy. It's easy to be killed. Of course, grandpa can't fall into someone else's trap. The illness is of course real."
"Hey, you have worked so hard to take care of the old man." Shen Yuanzhi sighed, turned to An Huajin and said, "You said you, you might as well endure your temper, wait for that, and then quietly kill Hua Si Jade, I won’t give His Majesty such a reason to deal with you.”
An Huajin turned to look at him, "If it were you, could you have endured that tone at that time?"
Shen Yuanzhi: "..."
No, he can't!
He and An Huajin grew up together, and their tempers and temperaments are not much different. He is not a person who can hold back his temper. Often, An Huajin is not as patient and well-mannered as An Huajin. If it were him, he would not only kill him The flowers are like jade? You must turn the capital upside down before giving up. Maybe, after returning to Nanyang, you will immediately rush to the capital with your troops and horses. Even if you don't harm your majesty, you will have to chop off Wang Anzhi's head first.
Isn't he the culprit?
Shen Yuanzhi coughed and said, "I'll just tell you that you did the right thing."
An Huajin turned around and said to everyone, "Since Huai'an said this, we will discuss this matter with grandpa tonight and ask grandpa for his opinion. The old man is decades older than us and eats more salt than we do." There are many roads, let’s see what he says!”
Everyone nodded.
So, in the evening of that day, everyone gathered together, and after having dinner at the old prince's place, An Huajin mentioned to old Nanyang King that the emperor had sent a young eunuch to pass the order, and asked him to come to the capital to explain the matter about her killing the emperor's heir. Second, ask the old prince for his opinion.
The old prince immediately decided, "Your Majesty has summoned me to Beijing to defend the case. Naturally I will go."
Everyone looked at each other and said nothing.
The old prince stared at everyone, "What are your expressions? I'm just going to Beijing, what are you afraid of? I've never seen anything in my whole life? Isn't it just that His Majesty summoned me to Beijing to defend myself? Of course I will go! Your Majesty dares to shout at the little girl.
I don’t believe that you are accused of murdering the emperor’s heir. What would your majesty dare to do to me? I would also like to tell your majesty that the queen has been virtuous for many years, but why did your majesty call for the abolition of the queen? Let me ask your majesty again about the engagement that year.
, he was the one who pushed it forward. Why must he change his mind now and resort to all possible means of banditry to conspire against my granddaughter? Sinful girls like Hua Siyu should not have entered the palace in the first place, even if they gave birth to an emperor.
Heir, I'm afraid it's not a good thing. Murdering the emperor's heir is a crime, but it is not a crime worthy of death. I have a dragon-beating whip given by the late emperor, and I will bring it with me this time. I want to ask your majesty carefully.
What does he want to do? Think I am dead? Bully my granddaughter like this."
An Huajin blinked, "Grandpa, you have been the person I admire most in my life."
"Get out!" Old Nanyang King waved his hand and scolded with great force, "You bastard, you look very clever, but you are also a stubborn person. I thought you could write and everyone in the An family knew how to be flexible. Who knows?
I know that you prefer not to learn bad things, and you have mastered the stubbornness and bad temper of the An family. You will not tolerate a moment of anger and cause such a big trouble. When I get old, I will not be able to live in peace.
Clean up your mess."
An Huajin stuck out his tongue and did not refute.
"The father-in-law who delivers the message will arrive in two days. When will Grandpa An prepare to leave?" Gu Qingyan asked with a smile.
The old King of Nanyang thought for a while and said, "I can't see the father-in-law sent by His Majesty right away. I will welcome him into the city first and wait for seven or eight days. Then I will see him again. Counting it, it will be ten days later. Time
No more, no less, and it’s not a delay. I want to spend another ten days with Ning’er. Otherwise, I will have fewer opportunities to accompany him in the future, and I won’t be so free.”
Gu Qingyan nodded, "Okay, then I will return to Beijing with you in ten days."
The old King of Nanyang agreed, "You should go back, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. If His Majesty does not remove you from your post, you will still be an official of the court. No matter what Your Majesty does, since you are an official, you must make decisions for the people. Isn't that right?"
Can you stay in Nanyang City for the sake of your children's personal relationship? It's okay to stay for a few days, but it would be outrageous if you don't care about anything because of this."
Gu Qingyan smiled, "Grandpa An is right."
An Huajin didn't have any objections. She didn't think Gu Qingyan could stay in Nanyang for too long.
